Yeah, it's already happening in places like Japan but what'll really do it in for everyone is WW3. Any day now and Trump will cause it. I'd wage money but we all know once that starts, currency won't be worth damn.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

There’s a film that deals with this exact situation, based on a true story.
Hopefully soon, boomers have ruined everthing.
It can't come soon enough.

Aren’t all bombs death booms?
Bath bomb.... OF DEATH!!!
I guess two world wars, the plague and COVID would be a death boom?
I moved to a small town (pop. 3.000) and there were two mortuaries working here.
It has slowed down now and one had to close.

this is from gemini but 2005 would be the year 2/3rds of the greatest gen had passed away and 2028 will be silent generation. 2045 for boomers and X is 2064. So we are just getting to the point where more elderly boomers are dying over silent generation. Whats funny is it will be much longer for Xers to overtake boomers because of how large the boomers are and how small the Xers are and then it will be a shorter time once there are more millenials dying because they also are larger. Boomers will be the main diers for like 30 years going forward. I mean using current life expectancy anyway.
